Problem is we know how these players perform on a consistent basis ie nowhere near good enough. People were on about relying on Rossiter and Dorrans in this thread, that gives me the fear! See honestly if anyone assumed every player who let us down would be off this window then they were always going to be disappointed. This will take 2/3 windows imo. We don't have time due to this fucking daft 10iar in which We were only around for so far 3 of them and one of those seasons we had a points deduction. It's not an easy fix. If rossiter gets fit he will be a very good player imo but wether he can get fit enough well that remains to be seen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine a Rangers fan being concerned at a rookie Managers display against the fourth best side in Macedonia. After what we've seen/watched over the years. God forbid we see a high pressing game, with players playing in the right position and creating at least two chances. Without our goalkeeper being MOTM. lol ?

They might only be the fourth best team in Macedonia but unfortunately the truth is we're only third best is Scotland according to the league tables. As much as I hate to say it the day of watching Laudrup and the likes are history and it will be a long long time before we're that standard again.

APOEL getting knocked out means potentially one of the better non seeded sides become seeds later on when it gets to final 2 qualifying rounds and theoretically means weaker sides for scum to draw. Also APOEL drop into EL I believe? Negative knock on affect for us. These teams normally get their act together in later stages and are far more dangerous. Can you give us a wee chance to get our act together then please ? Seriously I didn't know that. I thought teams dropped out CL in the next round to EL. Have they changed it again?

SIRB_72 4,000 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 We got the result over the two legs and that is what is most important. At the end of the day Rangers Football Club is about winning and at the end of the day it doesn't matter how it's done. However, there are a few concerns. I'm going to go OTT because we are two games into what is a new season, in the middle of July with a brand new manager and the team has only been together for 3/4 weeks. 4 of the back 5 looked solid and two clean sheets is a start and is by far the area we needed to sort first. Of course there will be tougher tests, but as I say it's a start. However, with Tavernier we are going to keep having the same conversations about him and it could kill us. This team at Ibrox and here knew he was the weak link. Anything they did productive over the two legs was down our right side and we need to find a balance with him because he does offer us something going forward. Jack and McCrorie were meh. I think they protected the centre halfs well enough but offered nothing going forward (as cautious as that is maybe it was the plan). I've wanted to Murphy behind the striker for a while but he didn't seem to get into the game much. Perhaps away from home you need someone a bit more leggy. Morelos the first half was isolated and I felt bad for him. The second half he was pish. First touch horrible, passing horrible, he goes down to easy and gives away niggly fouls. Windass for me wasn't terrible and fashioned two half chances for himself but he should be nowhere near the left flank. We had half a season of that and it did not work. If you compare both games to the equivalent games last year we have improved dramatically. I think if you hear the comments of the manager you can see he isn't exactly over the moon with the performance and that there is a lot of room for improvement and that is something we have needed in the dugout for years.

Its only his second game, so give him a chance to get organised. Rodgers got skelped by the red imps of Gibraltar on his first game. Thats a team that dont even have their own ground. If you think Gerrard cant do better than Murty you're aff yer heid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
